Did you ever notice that North Street runs in an east-west direction? It does not make sense, until you go way back when Susanville was first surveyed. There you find the answer to this perplexing issue. You see, North Street was most northern street in the town. The same thing happened in the 1920s with an adjoining subdivision to the south, in which South Street became the most southern street.
In addition, when North Street was laid out, it ended at Weatherlow Street. It was not until 1910 when it was extended to connect with Halltown to the east.

P.S. – This is an old post from March 2015. This morning’s post appeared, I did not receive a notification. So I am doing a test this afternoon, to if it is functioning or not.
We have some phots in our old family album that look similar to this one. During this flood we had water all around our our old home at the end of Small st. next to the Susan River.
